Abstract
Description
- The resent invention relates to an absorbent article which is used mainly for sanitary napkins, vaginal discharge sheets, incontinence pads, medical pads, toiletries and the like, and more specifically, relates to the absorbent article which securely prevents sideways leakage of body fluid by improving a blocking effect of a leakage preventing groove.
- Conventionally, as absorbent articles such as a panty liner, a sanitary napkin and incontinence pad, substances where an absorbent body made of cotton-like pulp or the like intervenes between a liquid impermeable back sheet such as a polyethylene sheet or a polyethylene sheet-laminated unwoven fabric and a liquid permeable front sheet such as an unwoven fabric or a liquid permeable plastic sheet are known.
- Such kinds of absorbent articles are improved a lot, and various countermeasures for preventing a leakage of body fluid are taken. As one of these body fluid leakage preventing means, as shown in
FIG. 8 , anabsorbent article 40A, in which a middle-height portion 42 is formed on an approximately center area of anabsorbent body 41 with its thickness being increased on the surface side so that fitting property to a blood discharge portion is improved, and in order to maintain the shape of the middle-height portion 42 and block body fluid absorbed by theabsorbent body 41, an outside position of a peripheral edge of the middle-height portion 42 is subject to cotton-like embossing so that a concaveleakage preventing groove 43 is formed, is known (see the following patent documents 1 to 4). Further, as shown inFIG. 9 , anabsorbent article 40B, in which the center of the middle-height portion 42 is subject to emboss which extends to a longitudinal direction of a napkin so that aleakage preventing groove 43 is formed, is known. -
- Patent document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-117277
- Patent document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-328233
- Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-358
- Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-33054
- In the
absorbent article 40A, however, since the product is easily fitted to a blood discharge port by forming the middle-height portion 42, a leakage of body fluid to a front-rear direction of the product can be prevented but since theleakage preventing groove 43 is formed on an outside of the middle-height portion 42, namely, a thin portion of theabsorbent body 41, theleakage preventing groove 43 cannot be deeply formed, and thus a sideways leakage of body fluid diffusing to a widthwise direction of the product cannot be sufficiently blocked. This problem becomes more serious in the thin-type absorbent articles in which the thickness of the absorbent bodies are thinner. - On the other hand, in the case of the
absorbent article 40B which is formed with theleakage preventing groove 43 at the center of the middle-height portion 42, when a lot of body fluid is discharged at a time due to abdominal pressure caused by changing a posture such as moving legs in lying-down and sitting postures or the like, theleakage preventing groove 43 cannot sufficiently store the body fluid, and thus the body fluid overflows so as to leak. - It is, therefore, a main object of the present invention to provide an absorbent article where even if a lot of body fluid is discharged at a time, the body fluid can be sufficiently blocked, and not only a leakage of the body fluid to a front-rear direction but also a sideways leakage to a widthwise direction of the product can be prevented.
- In order to solve the problems, the present invention from a first aspect provides an absorbent article in which an absorbent body intervenes between a liquid permeable front sheet and a back sheet, and a middle-height portion is provided by thickening a front surface of an approximately center area of the absorbent body with respect to a standard portion absorbent body, characterized in that leakage preventing grooves which extend to a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article are provided on both sides which sandwich a body fluid discharge portion area in the area of the middle-height portion, respectively.
- In the case of the conventional absorbent article shown in
FIG. 7 , since the outside of the middle-height portion is subject to emboss, the leakage preventing grooves cannot be deeply formed, but according to the present invention from the first aspect, since the width of the middle-height portion is increased and the leakage preventing grooves are formed in the area of the middle-height portion, the sufficient depth of the grooves can be secured, and a lot of body fluid can be stored in the grooves. For this reason, not only front-rear leakage but also sideways leakage of the body fluid can be effectively prevented. - The present invention from a second aspect provides the absorbent article depending from the first aspect, wherein the leakage preventing grooves are deeper than a thickness of the middle-height portion and reach the standard portion absorbent body.
- The present invention from a third aspect provides the absorbent article depending from any one of the first and the second aspects, wherein a thinned portion obtained by thinning the middle-height portion by press is formed on outsides of the leakage preventing grooves.
- In the invention from the third aspect, the thinned portion is formed on the outsides of the leakage preventing grooves by thinning the middle-height portion by means of press. Therefore, even if the middle-height portion is present, both the sides are thinned by press so that uncomfortable feeling at the time of attachment is eliminated and the folded product can be thinned.
- The present invention from a fourth aspect provides the absorbent article depending from any one of first to third aspects, wherein the middle-height portion is formed between front and rear folding line positions for folding the absorbent article in three at the time of individual packaging.
- In the invention from the fourth aspect, the middle-height portion is formed between the front and rear folding lines at the time of folding the absorbent article in three at the time of individual packaging. The absorbent article as the product folded in three, is therefore, made to be thin.
- The present invention from a fifth aspect provides the absorbent article depending from any one of first to fourth aspects, wherein a thickness of the standard portion absorbent body is 1 to 3 mm.
- According to the present invention, even if a lot of body fluid is discharged at a time, the body fluid can be sufficiently blocked, and the leakage to the front-rear direction of the product but also the sideways leakage of the fluid body to the widthwise direction can be prevented. Further, since the outside of the middle-height portion is thinned by press forming, uncomfortable feeling at the time of attaching can be reduced, and since the middle-height portion is formed between lines for folding in three, the thickness can be reduced in a product form.

The liquidimpermeable back sheet 2 and the liquidpermeable front sheet 3 are jointed by a bonding means such as a hot-melt adhesive around theabsorbent body 4. - The liquid
impermeable back sheet 2 adopts a sheet material having at least an impervious property made of polyethylene or polypropylene, but a laminate unwoven fabric where unwoven fabrics are laminated on a polyethylene sheet or the like, an unwoven sheet where a waterproof film is provided and thus liquid impermeability is substantially secured (in this case, the liquid impermeable back sheet is composed of the waterproof film and the unwoven fabric), and the like can be used. In recent years, materials having moisture permeability tend to be used preferably in view of stuffiness prevention. As this impervious and moisture permeable sheet material, a fine porous sheet, which is obtained in such a manner that inorganic bulking agent is molten and kneaded into olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene and a sheet is formed, and the sheet is stretched monoxially or biaxially, is suitably used. - As the
absorbent body 4, a material which can absorbs and keeps body fluid may be used, and normally a material which is obtained by mixing absorbent polymer powder in fluff pulp is used preferably in view of the absorbent function and the price. The pulp is made of cellulose fiber such as chemical pulp obtained by timer or molten pulp, or artificial cellulose fiber such as rayon or acetate, and softwood pulp whose fiber length is longer than hardwood pulp is used preferably from the viewpoint of the function and the price. Theabsorbent body 4 is preferably surrounded by thecrepe paper 5 in order to maintain the shape, quickly diffuse menstrual blood or the like and prevent reverse flow of the menstrual blood which is once absorbed. Further, as shown in the drawing, the plane shape of theabsorbent body 4 may have an oval shape or a fit-cut shape (lageniform shape) in order to relieve butting against a groin portion. - On the other hand, as the
front sheet 3 in theabsorbent article 1A, imperforate or perforated unwoven fabric or porous plastic sheet is used preferably. As a material fiber composing the unwoven fabric, synthetic fiber of olefin, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, polyester, polyamide or the like, regenerated fiber such as rayon or cupra, and natural fiber such as cotton can be used. Further, conjugated fiber such as core-in-sheath fiber whose core is fiber with high melting point and whose sheath is fiber with low melting point, side-by-side fiber and split fiber can be used preferably. - The unwoven fabric which is obtained by the suitable processing methods such as a spun lace method, a spun bond method, a thermal bond method, a melt blown method, a needle punch method can be used. In these processing method, the spun lace method is excellent in flexibility and in a drape property, and the thermal bond method is excellent in bulkiness and softness. Further, the unwoven fabric composed of synthetic fiber is used preferably because this is easily subject to emboss.

FIGS. 2 and 3 clearly, the front surface in the approximately center area of theabsorbent body 4 has a middle-height portion 6 which is obtained by increasing the thickness of the front surface with respect to a standard portionabsorbent body 4A. As shown inFIG. 1 , the middle-height portion 6 is formed between front and back folding line positions P1 and P2 to be creases at the time of folding the product. A plurality of side embosses 7 a and 7 b which extend to an approximately longitudinal direction of the product are formed in vicinities of front and rear ends of the middle-height portion 6. Further, the thickness of the standard portionabsorbent body 4A is 1 to 3 mm, and the thickness of the middle-height portion 6 is 1.5 to 8.0 mm, preferably 2.0 to 4.0 mm. Further, as the standard portionabsorbent body 4A, air laid fabric or laminated fiber absorbent body which is pressed is desirably used, and the middle-height portion 6 may be formed by laminating individual absorbent sheets or may be formed integrally with the standard portionabsorbent body 4A. - Both side portions which sandwich a body fluid discharge area K are embossed from the upper surface of the liquid
permeable front sheet 3 in the area of the middle-height portion 6, so that a pair of right and left concaveleakage preventing grooves FIGS. 2 and 3 , the liquidpermeable front sheet 3 and thecrepe paper 5 are fused by the emboss, so that theleakage preventing grooves 8 are formed so as to be deeper than a thickness h1 of the middle-height portion 6 and covers the standard portionabsorbent body 4A. A depth H of theleakage preventing groove 8 is 0.5 to 9.0 mm, preferably 2.0 to 6.0 mm. When the depth H is less than 0.5 mm, the effect for blocking body fluid is small, and thus the sideways leakage cannot be effectively prevented. When the depth H exceeds 9.0 mm, the thickness of the absorbent body should be increased, and thus convenience of the thin absorbent article is lost. Further, a ratio (H/T) of the depth H of theleakage preventing groove 8 to the thickness T of the standardportion absorbent body 4A is 0.06 to 3.3, preferably 0.2 to 0.8. On the other hand, a bottom width B of theleakage preventing groove 8 may be 0.5 to 5.0 mm. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , in theleakage preventing groove 8,body fluid 9 which is discharged from a body fluid discharge portion (not shown) of a wearer flows thereinto and is blocked so as not to move sideways. That is to say, in theabsorbent article 1A, since theleakage preventing groove 8 is formed within the range of the middle-height portion 6 so as to be formed deeply. Furthermore, since a pair of right and leftleakage preventing grooves 8 are formed on the outside of the body fluid discharge portion K, even if body fluid flows to both right and left directions, it can be blocked. - The plane shapes of the
leakage preventing grooves FIG. 1 , however, the plane shape is a curved shape such that the center portion has the narrowest width and their separating width gradually becomes wider on portions which are closer to the front and back ends of the products, and curved portion towards the inner side is formed on the end portions. - The
absorbent article 1B according to a second embodiment shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 is explained in detail below. - The
absorbent article 1B is compared with theabsorbent article 1A according to the first embodiment, and only a difference is explained. In theabsorbent article 1B, as shown inFIG. 5 , the width W2 of the middle-height portion 6 is wider than the width W1 (seeFIG. 1 ) of the middle-height portion of theabsorbent article 1A, the both sides which sandwich the body fluid discharge portion K are embossed from the upper surface of the liquidpermeable front sheet 3 so that a pair of right and left concaveleakage preventing grooves height portion 6, and the middle-height portion 6 is thinned by press so that the thinnedportion 10 is formed on the outsides of theleakage preventing grooves 8. - In the
absorbent article 1B, since the thinnedportion 10 is formed on the outsides of theleakage preventing grooves 8 by press, uncomfortable feeling due to abutting of the side portions of the middle-height portion 6 against a groin portion can be eliminated at the time of attachment. - The thinned
portion 10 is not thinned by press from the upper side of the liquidpermeable front sheet 3, but it is desirable that the single absorbent body is pressed and the thinned portion by means of the press is not noticeable from the outside of the product. - When the
leakage preventing grooves 8 are formed, both the sides which sandwich the body fluid discharge area K are embossed from the upper side of the liquidpermeable front sheet 3, so that a pair of the right and left concaveleakage preventing grooves leakage preventing groove 8 may be formed on both the sides which sandwich the body fluid discharge area K so as to extend to the longitudinal direction of the product, and as shown inFIG. 7 for example, both front and rear ends of theleakage preventing grooves - The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not as restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims and their combination in whole or in part rather than by the foregoing description. All changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
